I know of quite a few people making north of $150k per year in the trades. Obviously there is a lot of skill and dedication required, but the money they make is pretty great.
I would never send someone to go take a business degree in this economy. The demand for skilled trades is exploding right now. Push more kids into those jobs and start subsidizing their education.
But no, we will continue pushing that useless Liberal Arts degree.
